Yokomo’s transmitter bag has received a refresh with the design changed to include the Racing Factory logo. The bag sports cushioning to protect your precious radio from bumps when traveling to the RC circuit. The design language of the bag is the same as that of the recently released pit bag, and so when combined they look great together. The interior and exterior is made of tear-resistant nylon, with shock-absorbing material inserted on all sides to shut out external shocks. The interior is a simple single compartment with one inner pocket, but it has a large capacity with room for a large transmitter. It can also hold peripherals such as chargers and spare parts giving the bag multiple uses.

Rêve D release this new MC-II conversion set for GRK GSⅡ Evo made by Shibata. Their chief designer Hayato Matsuzaki and his RêveD super development team have put all their efforts into creating it. Their goal was to bring out extra performance from the GSII EVO, which already has a strong grip feeling with weight distribution closer to the rear. They have enhanced the inherent properties of the car to catch the road surface by enabling a more active suspension motion and have succeeded in creating a machine that is easy to transfer weight with improved handling. This conversion follows the regulation of the ‘GRK Strongest Championship’ scheduled to be held in 2022.

The Yokomo YZ-2CAL 2wd offroad buggy specialised for use on carpet and astro turf surfaces, has been upgraded to the 3.1 version. Even though it is an upgrade, it is no longer an exaggeration to say that it is a new machine with newly designed parts throughout the chassis. The chassis has been lengthened, the wheelbase has been changed on the steering hub carrier, and the rigidity of the front and rear parts has been rebalanced to achieve a total balance that will lead to improved times. The suspension has also been upgraded to the latest configuration with 3mm shock shafts for a more responsive suspension, and is now fully prepared for the 2022 season.
